Miss Violence

Happy birthday to you...

...happy birthday to you...

...happy birthday,

dear Angeliki,...

...happy birthday to you!

- Bravo!

- Happy birthday!

Well done, sweetheart!

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday, Angeliki!

Philippos, come over here.

Take a picture of us.

This one.

Come on.

Myrto, come over here!

Mom, I'm pregnant.

Are you sure?

Happy birthday!

Let's take a group shot.

Come on, leave it for now.

Let's take a family shot.

Alkmini

come over here.

Where's Angeliki?

We understand

what you're going through.

Our agency is here

because you need support.

Thank you.

To your knowledge,

did she have problems at school?

Did she not want to go?

She was a good student.

Did she have trouble with

a schoolmate or perhaps a teacher?

No.

Do you know that

or are you just assuming?

I don't know...

Did you notice

any strange behaviour?

Did she stay in her room a lot?

Not wanting to see anyone.

No.

- Did she cry for no reason?

- No.

Did she have nightmares

or wake up in the night?

No.

- Did you scold her often?

- No. Never.

I'm afraid

we must look into

...the possibility

of child neglect.

What do you mean?

I don't understand...

She didn't have

any problems.

It was her birthday,

she was very happy

playing with her brother

and sister when...

The balcony railings

are very safe.

This is just a formality...

...that Welfare observes

in such cases.

We'll come to your house

and make sure you're okay.

Eleni, come on, please.

Eleni.

It'll do us good

to sit together at the table.

Come on.

Eleni.

Please help me out here.

Come on.

So you don't want us to

sit together at the table.

You don't want us

to look after each other.

So where were you yesterday?

And you?

And you?

And you?

Where were you all?

But forget about them.

Where were you?

How could you let this happen?

Tell me.

Let's go to bed.

Why did you let them

talk to me like that?

Go back to sleep.

Come in.

- How are you?

- All right.

Here are her things.

You didn't have

to bring the kids in today.

The whole class is very upset.

You're right, but I thought it would

do them good to get out of the house.

You know, there are a lot

of rumors going around.

Angeliki hung out with older

kids, along with your daughter.

One of them is bragging that

she committed suicide for him.

I don't think so.

It's dangerous for the children.

- What's this?

- It's about a job.

They said you should call them

by four o'clock.

Better not go today.

Stay home.

Why were

you quarelling?

She doesn't want

to go to school.

I know.

And where's Eleni?

At the police station.

Myrto!

Come here!

What did they want?

I went to get

the death certificate.

We have to take it

to the Registry Office. Today.

Was Welfare there?

No.

What took you so long?

Good morning.

You'll have to declare the death

to all services involved.

ID card, please.

This is the last month you'll be

getting the child benefit

You'll lose 170 euros

due to her death.

I understand.

Thank you.

Lena had other toys, but

neither she nor the other kids

had ever seen such a doll.

She lived in a place where

no one had more than the other.

Come help me.

Keep reading on your own.

Eleni.

Here's the bus ticket.

Put it in the back seat.

You will earn 530 euros

for a 5-day week. Full time.

Plus social security,

of course.

You can start today, so you can see

what you're supposed to do.

Certainly. At your service.

Thank you for this opportunity.

Your contract

is for 4 months.

If they subsidize social security

again next year...

...for the unemployed over 50,

we'll rehire you.

Thank you.

Grandpa's got

a new job.

If you finish

with your homework...

... we can go for a walk in the park

and wash the car.

I miss her too.

But you have to try harder.

For the children.

- Is there something she needs?

- No.

Hello?

Yes, just one moment.

Hello?

Can I go to her house?

Be back before dinner.

Grandpa, I'm done.

What shall I do now?

Do your exercise.

One tree, two trees, three trees,

four trees, five trees...

...nine trees...

eleven trees.

Grandpa, I'm tired.

Keep going.

One tree, two trees,

three trees,four trees...

...seven trees...

...ten trees...

Until you finish, your sister

will remain standing there.

Absolutely still.

Twenty trees, twenty-one trees...

...twenty-five trees...

Twenty-six trees...

...twenty-nine trees...

...thirty-three trees...

...fourty-one trees...

...fourty-five...

- Grandma, I'm hot.

- And I want to wear a skirt.

Be quiet. This is what

you're wearing.

- Can I come in?

- Please do.

I told your father

I couldn't make it to the funeral.

- My mother was sick.

- That's okay.

Have a seat.

- I brought some cookies for the kids.

- Thank you.

We're all in shock.

It must be very hard for you.

If it were me,

I would have lost my mind.

Have a drink.

Calm down.

Stay strong, Eleni.

I'm here if you need me.

Thank you.

Sit down.

Don't get up.

My daughter's afraid

to go out on the balcony.

I keep telling her: "look how high

the railings are. You can't fall."

How's your mother doing?

She might need to come live with

me so I can keep an eye on her.

She suffers from

dizzy spells.

We're going for tests

again tomorrow.

I see.

Which means my daughter

won't be going to school tomorrow.

I should get going.

My daughter's all alone at home.
